"He does, he doesn't verbalize it but I can see it in his heart."
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"It'll be Lin Lin's 4th birthday soon. If you don't mind, I would like you to attend his birthday party. I know we're divorced but I won't stop you from seeing our son."
Mubai told her the same thing when they divorced. From this and other observations, she knew Mubai would be a great father. It was the main reason she could bring herself to leave her son in his care in the first place.
In the past years, Xinghe had had acute episodes where she yearned to see her son but she stopped herself every time. She couldn't bear to let her son know his mother was such a useless person.
But now, things had changed.
"Okay," Xinghe accepted. For some reason, Mubai felt relieved when he heard her answer.
He thought she would reject him again. He had no idea why he would be looking forward to hearing her say yes.
